Luke Kennard Fantasy Stats

Memphis Grizzlies guard Luke Kennard (illness) is currently listed as questionable ahead of Thursday's game against the Sacramento Kings. Kennard is a late addition to the injury report due to an illness. His absence probably won't have a huge impact on the rotation given Kennard is only averaging 19 minutes per game. If he sits, Marcus Smart, Jake LaRavia, and John Konchar will probably all see additional run. None of them are likely going to gain significant playing time from Kennard's possible absence. Out of everyone, Smart probably has the most fantasy upside out of them all, assuming Kennard is out.

Memphis Grizzlies guard Luke Kennard (foot) is listed as questionable for Wednesday night's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. Kennard has yet to make his 2024-2025 season debut due to a muscle strain in his foot he sustained during preseason action. The questionable tag marks progress for the 28-year-old, though, as it's the first time he's carried the questionable tag this season. Kennard was a full participant in Tuesday's practice as well, pointing to a positive sign that he may be able to give it a go on Wednesday. Kennard averaged 11.0 PPG while shooting 45% from three in his first full season with the Grizzlies and was brought back on a one-year $9.25 million contract this offseason. The sooner he can get on the court for the 4-4 Grizzlies, the better. Fantasy managers should temper their expectations if he's active for Wednesday night given it will be his first regular season game action in 2024. If he's ruled out, expect Scotty Pippen Jr. to continue to be the main threat off the bench for Memphis.

Memphis Grizzlies shooting guard Luke Kennard (foot) has been ruled out for at least the first week of the 2024-25 regular season by head coach Taylor Jenkins. Kennard is battling foot soreness sustained during preseason action last week. Memphis has three games scheduled for the first week, starting with a matchup against Utah on Wednesday. John Konchar could see more time on the court in Kennard's absence, although the Grizzlies have their regular backcourt healthy for the start of the season, leaving the bench guys with few opportunities to make an impact.

Free-agent guard Luke Kennard agreed to a one-year, $11 million contract with the Grizzlies. The 2017 No. 12 overall pick finished last season by averaging 11.0 points while shooting 45.0% from behind the arc. Yet, he appeared in just 39 games due to injury. Most had assumed Kennard would be back in Memphis, although the deal took longer than anticipated. With that said, he should continue to receive minutes during the 2024-25 campaign. However, outside of efficient three-point shooting, he likely won't be a consistent producer for category managers.

Memphis Grizzlies guard Luke Kennard (knee) is out for Sunday's season finale against the Denver Nuggets. This will be his sixth straight game on the sidelines because of a left knee injury. The Grizzlies have been ravaged by injuries all season long, and they will continue to rely on a group of young players for their final game of the season. Fantasy managers can expect GG Jackson II, Jake LaRavia, and Scotty Pippen Jr. to lead the backcourt.

Memphis Grizzlies guard Luke Kennard (knee) is listed as out for Friday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. This will be his fifth straight game on the sidelines because of a left knee injury. With the season almost over, it would not be surprising if Kennard has already played his last game of the year. The Grizzlies have been ravaged by injuries all season long, and they will continue to rely on a group of young players. Fantasy managers can expect GG Jackson II, Jake LaRavia, and Scotty Pippen Jr. to lead the backcourt.

Memphis Grizzlies guard Luke Kennard (knee) is doubtful for Friday's game against the Detroit Pistons. The 27-year-old has been in and out of the lineup all season for various reasons. He is currently battling left-knee soreness, and with the Grizzlies playing on back-to-back days, Kennard will get Friday off to rest. The sharpshooter had suited up for three straight games, playing more than 25 minutes in each contest. If he is ruled out, Memphis will likely rely on Jordan Goodwin and Jake LaRavia to play more minutes.

Memphis Grizzlies guard Luke Kennard (personal) appears ready to rejoin the lineup on Saturday versus Orlando, as the team has removed him from the injury report. Kennard has been absent for the past five games for personal reasons. The 27-year-old has averaged 12.4 points and 5.1 assists for the month and should continue to fill a big role on offense, with Desmond Bane (back) ruled out for Saturday and Vince Williams Jr. (knee) remaining on the shelf.

Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward Luke Kennard (personal) has been listed as out for Friday's matchup against the San Antonio Spurs. Lamar Stevens (adductor) is also out for this one and Desmond Bane (back) is considered doubtful. If Scottie Pippen Jr. (shin) can be upgraded from questionable, he'll be in line for a lot of work. Otherwise, John Konchar, GG Jackson II, Jake LaRavia, and Trey Jamison should all be in line for added opportunities. Each one of these players carries a lot of risk as streaming options due to the bare-bones roster that the Grizzlies have to endure.

Memphis Grizzlies guard Luke Kennard (personal) won't be in the lineup on Monday versus Sacramento. After playing in seven of the last eight games, Kennard needs to take some time off for personal reasons. The sweet-shooting 27-year-old has been a regular starter lately, meaning another change in the first unit is coming on Monday for the Grizzlies. John Konchar is the likeliest player to step into the role. However, fantasy managers shouldn't rush into picking up Konchar, as he tends to drift through games with his contributions not showing up on the box score.
